Hi psych0phobia:

i want install this rom, but i have a few questions. :confused:

supports spanish? (language, keyboard, etc)

is possible to downgrade? (for example back to rom stock)

thanks!! :good:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
This is the Amazon 7.2.3 core, so it supports all languages that Amazon supports.

As far as returning to stock, that's not really a ROM question - more of a general request. One option is here, but I'm sure there are others.

Oh! thanks for replying!! :good:

I think Kinology is a great little start, I believe there is a lot of potential for this nifty lil device. I appreciate all the hardwork everyone is putting into it, it would be easy to just avoid the kindle because of the lengthy work arounds that are having to be made. On that note I think it kind of gives devs a bit of motivation and a challenge. I have only one real issue im experiencing and that is anytime I restart my kindle I lose all OS customizations.

OK, Google calendars works like a charm. But now I'm missing the exchange calendar as a class. After removing/adding exchange account it's still possible to get events from one, but after a while all of them are disappear. I'm just wondering, is it possible to have a fully functional calendar somehow?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
Re: [ROM][KFHD7][7.2.3] ♦ Kinology 1.1 ♦ 2013/03/03 ♦

Not at the moment, as far as I can tell. I've tried a huge amount of combinations of the various calendar related apks, and none of them were able to work properly with both Google and Amazon data. If you need the Amazon version, just restore the CalendarProvider from either a previous Kinology or your 7.2.3 backup and then wipe data on it.

I was honestly hoping that the Google version would be likely to satisfy the most along of users, but if necessary, I can provide flashable versions of both.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] victorlugo:
Firstly, the rom is much better than a stock root. Thank you for that psych0phobia.

I like the approach you take with updates, rather than the confusion of wiping and reflashing the whole ROM you have update zips.

Battery percentage on the status bar is great.

Previously I had an issue streaming prime videos but you fixed that!

I would love to see a status bar similar to regular Android devices where icons are displayed for pending notifications rather than a number within a circle as it is on stock (and currently Kinology).

A more Android-like settings menu would be cool too (yes you've already done a lot!)

I'm not a fan of the stock navigation bar, it's Amazon-specific. A nexus style navigation bar or pie-control would be cool.

A way to customize the lock screen wallpapers (I understand they are built into an APK and can be edited but a way to totally turn off the lockscreen or modify it without the long process would be cool)

The biggest desire is for the status bar. The rest I can easily live with. I've been playing with every status bar on the play store, but none of them use root to detect notifications, they're really buggy (sticky notifications that do not go away after clearing, wrong notification counts, etc)

If you can address the status bar, it would be to everyone's benefit and you would be deeply thanked for it.

Keep doing what you do. :good:

Re: [ROM][KFHD7][7.2.3] ♦ Kinology 1.1 ♦ 2013/03/03 ♦

I agree with the status bar request... If possible, would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
Re: [ROM][KFHD7][7.2.3] ♦ Kinology 1.1 ♦ 2013/03/03 ♦

Thanks for the feedback!

Status bar: I'll see what I can do, but I can't make any promises at this point.... It will depend on how much Amazon ripped completely out versus simply disabling. (I did already try simply toggling the built in setting for this, but it had no effect.)

Settings: Realistically, this ROM is meant to be Amazon's OS with extra Google goodies. That's why most of the UI is still pretty much stock. If anything, I'd be more likely to make some of the oddball settings screens look more like Amazon's. Honestly, I'm hoping someone else can step up to the challenge of creating a Google OS with Amazon goodies for this device.

NavBar: I haven't spent much time with it, aside from enabling long press functionality. There may be other options for this ROM, or there may not; I'm not sure yet.

Lock screen: You can disable it in the Security settings. That should enable you to use one of the many third party lock screen replacements on the market. I got incredibly burnt out with building lock screens into the previous ROM I maintained, and am unlikely to mess with it for this one. Yeah, I know, crappy excuse, but those things are seriously painful.

Hello

Ive come from Mimicry (4.0) which is pretty good but I want to enjoy those new JB features. For stable reasons, which would you go with: 4.0, 4.1, or 4.2? And what ROM?

Thank you
[G2 and Desire Z General] gbmannc:
I'm currently running andromadus aosp 4.2.2. Pretty stable and smoothest performance I've found so far.
[G2 and Desire Z General] riahc3:
You make it sound like there is a final version out. They are just putting out builds right?
[G2 and Desire Z General] gbmannc:
Yes just builds at the moment. But over the past 2 months a lot of the JB builds have gotten to the point where they can be used for daily roms now. Not many 4.0+ stable final builds, mimicry 4.0 is the only one that comes to mind.

[G2 and Desire Z General] HTCDreamOn:
There is literally a thread like this popping up EVERY WEEK. Read my post here, and give some ROMs a go.

And it's blatantly obvious that 4.0 is going to be more stable than 4.1 because there are STABLE releases, and 4.1 is going to be more stable than 4.2 because there have been well over 100 test builds of 4.1 whereas 4.2 is up to about 10 - 15 depending on which one you go for.

To reiterate:

For stability = 4.0

For uptodatedness = 4.2

I wouldn't go with 4.1, it's pretty much in limbo at the moment if you apply my above logic.

I'm also using the AOSP 4.2.2 from Fyodor but Build 10. Just about to change to the Jelly Baby v1.1.0 just to give it a try but the Build 10 is THE fastest and snappiest rom I've ever used so far. Battery life is roughly 2 days and multitasking is just flying even without Supercharger.

Just give it a try!

Hey

I have to flash a recovery but which ClockworkMod Recovery should I get? The latest released for my device? The latest build made for my device? Touch or nontouch?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Niether, try out 4ext recovery... And you have touch screen why not also have a touch recovery
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riahc3:
Why should I use 4ext Recovery over ClockWork Recovery? I don't mind but I would like to know the advantages (from your point of view)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Both have touch but 4ext is more intuatuive, all wipes are together and the lay out make more sense. You can customize it by adding many different skins. You can easily change partitions to be formatted to 4ext and go into info to check easily. Backups seem faster and get named not just dated. If you decided to use the app it is also nicer than clockworks app. There are many other perks but if you dont like it, well it takes seconds to change recoveries via fastboot, so why not flash one, see what you think, then flash the other and see what you like better
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCDreamOn:
Once again I've gotta agree with demkantor. I always used CWM Recovery since the G1 and then a few weeks back decided to give 4ext a go... The app was a bit daunting at first, I thought hell why are they so many options just for the recovery, but you don't have to configure everything to a tee. I flashed and rebooted, and never looked back. The big buttons, interface, logical menus, it's just fantastic. Has some really useful options like excluding cache + dalvik from nandroids, and also I love the option to wipe everything bar the fat32 petition, it's so much easier if I'm doing a fresh install.

Also the Vision is officially still supported, I don't think you can even get CWM 6. I tried CWM touch 5.8 (or something like that) and it was horrible.

Just try 4EXT, you won't regret it. Just go to the website, download apk, install apk, choose release candidate, flashes for you, reboot to recovery and smile. Easy as that.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] schumifer1:
Hello all,

First some background

as you can tell i have an xperia s. I had initially rooted it in .45, installed CWM, installed .55 system and CWM again, and had a perfectly healthy tool on my hands. A week ago i realized it had suddenly started to eat up the battery in half a day. I uninstalled everything i could think of, and nothing happened. So i though of going back to a previous CWM backup.

That proved impossible since the backup sequence always stopped at a formatting error. After a dozen attempts i lost my patience and used flashtool to install and root .45. Then CWM, then OTA to .55, and then CWM again (it was lost after OTA update to .55).

Took me about a day to put everything back.

That was yesterday.

Today i tried to install the camera mod from xperia V (had it before and truly the focusing is faster, cannot vouch for anything else though)

And there it was:

Instructions for installing the zip require to wipe cache first.

Through CWM when i tried to wipe cache, both ways available, i always get the same error

make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p13

I have seen that before on my phone but everything works OK in normal mode. Only time problems arise is when i need CWM...

I have also seen it reported in xda but nobody posted a solution.

Any thoughts?

I cannot take it back as defective either, because it works ok:silly:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] schumifer1:
I decided to take it a step further.

Went into CWM and chose wipe data/factory reset.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
can u connect it to fastboot?

if u yes, from fastboot: fastboot erase cache. fastboot format cache. i think that flashing ftf full wipe can fix that too.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] schumifer1:
I am having this issue even after multiple(2-3) full wipes.

Let me be clear about that.

First time i encountered the situation i though it was just a glitch. So i went all out and erased everything. Reinstalled .45 , rooted, then OTA-ed to .55, then installed CWM (i actually installed it first at .45 but during the update to .55 it was lost, so i installed it again.) Problem insisted , so i re-did it all a couple of times until i run out of time to keep installing everything!!!

Now, as for the "manual" format you are referring to. How do we do that?

Can we do that through flash tool?

I was thinking of connecting the phone to the flashtool in flashmode and choosing only wipe cache.

But in order to do that i first have to choose an ftf and i was worried that i might erase everything again. I absolutely have no time to be installing everything again...!!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] BlushMaq:
I never tried but i think i can connect it to fastboot. But i am not much aware of fastboot process. SO i am hesitating to flash it..Though i'll give a try n will let you know the results.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] schumifer1:
Don't worry my friend. The phone does everything it is supposed to do.

I have tested it as hard as i can but no error pops up during any operations.

Just when you format cache through CWM
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] BlushMaq:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] silvershiver0323:

According to Arakmar, the CWM formatting issue was fixed by updating the MMC storage driver in the kernel. As far as I know, drivers are a part of the kernel source which is then compiled to give us the zImage. Compiled zImage+ramdisk=custom kernel

As custom zImage cannot be installed on locked bootloader, this method won't work. There must be some other workaround to this problem..

Same for me too. My XS also needed a motherboard replacement. For everyone, if possible then just unlock your boot loader and flash a kernel in which this bug has been fixed. Hopefully in the JB update Sony will update the mmc driver.

Deleting 20 giga and restoring it is certainly not my idea of a quick backup and restore .

[Motorola Photon 4G] T3HG00GLEG33K:
I dont quite remember exactly how to fix this one, is your phone able to charge still? It obviously needs some good juicing, prior to attempting anything at least. In which afterwards your best bet is a full sbf restore. That should work with just about any problem
